1

Spread a piece of parchment paper on the back of a cookie sheet, spray with nonstick cooking spray.

2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave your chocolate on 50% power for 3 minutes, stopping and stirring at each minute mark. When the chocolate is almost completely melted, stir vigorously until the rest of the chocolate melts together. (This is a shortcut for tempering your chocolate, leaving it glossy. If you overheat your chocolate it can become dull).

3

Pour your melted chocolate onto your prepared parchment sheet, using an offset spatula to spread it into an even layer, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

4

Sprinkle your pistachios, cherries and Cinnamon Chex™ cereal evenly over the chocolate. Place the cookie sheet with the chocolate bark into the fridge (make sure you have a clear shelf so it can sit level) for 25 minutes to set. If it’s completely solid, remove it from the fridge and snap the chocolate into large pieces.
